Speaker at Compressed Biogas Conclave 2026 – Moving Towards an Efficient & Robust CBG Production Ecosystem

During the conclave, Dr. Raut delivered a presentation titled “Unlocking Feedstock Potential for CBG: Opportunities in Maharashtra.” The session highlighted the evolving feedstock landscape in the state and reinforced a critical point for project viability: availability alone is not sufficient.

Strengthening these elements will be essential to building a robust feedstock ecosystem and enabling scalable clean fuel investments in Maharashtra.
The presentation was part of the session titled “Strong Policy and Infrastructural Ecosystem.” The session also featured presentations by Mr. Ashish Kumar, Managing Director, Verbio, and Dr. Shobhit Srivastava, Deputy Programme Manager, CSE.
